Post, succeeding Marcus Brauchli. In 2014, The Post won two Pulitzer
Prizes, one in the category of public service for revelations of secret
surveillance by the National Security Agency and the other for
explanatory journalism about food stamps in America. The next year, it
won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting for its coverage of
security lapses in the Secret Service; and in 2016, it won the Pulitzer
Prize in the category of national reporting for a ground-breaking
project that chronicled every killing by a police officer in 2015. Baron
